In celebration of Georgia's Independence Day, Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaitė has published a picture of a giant Georgian flag
surrounded by a circular Lithuanian flag unfurled at Cathedral Square in Vilnius. According to Dalia, this gesture symbolizes unity and friendship between the two countries.

Georgian detainees Maia Otinashvili and Akaki Dotiashvili are freed from the Tskhinvali prison. They had been accused of illegally crossing a so-called the borderline into the occupied Tskhinvali region.

On the 28th of October, presidential elections will be held in Georgia. The last elections in October 2013 resulted in a victory for Giorgi Margvelashvili, a candidate of the Georgian Dream (the ruling party).
